LESLIE DID A GREAT JOB. HER INTRODUCTION TO BASIC KAYAKING WAS WHAT THIS MEETUP WAS ALL ABOUT. HER DEMAND ON SAFETY FIRST SHOWS SHE CARES ABOUT YOU LEARNING THIS SPORT THE RIGHT WAY. -

Leslie is a great teacher, passionate about the sport and made us very enthusiatic about our future kayaking experiences. -
My Daughter and I Had a great time. Leslie is a patient teacher and a wonderful encourager. She loves Kayaking and she loves introducing others to this love of hers. Anyone who thinks they would like kayaking but is not confident in his or her capabilities should take a lesson from Leslie. Thanks again Leslie. By the way, your German Shepherd puppies are adorable. -

I learned a lot and had a great time. I would recommend Leslie's class to anyone who has an interest in learning about kayaking. I can't wait to get on the water again.

Absolutely an awesome event and what a great first time paddle for three of us. Shady Cove appreciates our business and shows it. They are already looking forward to our return. We'll be happy to oblige. Fantastic full moon and weather.— Leslie (ACA Certified Kayak Instructor)

Spring weather is either gorgeous or not. Today was one of the 'not' days. Still we were troopers and got through almost everything. The enthusiasm of the group and great questions matched any summer time lesson.

Great day, great trip, I would love to do this again in the spring or summer. -
Enjoyed the paddle, but the current was so fast that we did 9miles in one and a half hours, almost missed the take out, and had to paddle back up stream against a VERY STRONG CURRENT. . With this current we could have easily done a 15 or 20 mile paddle in 4 or 5 hours. -

Our daughter and 2 grandchildren had a ball, they did not want to leave Leslie at the end of the three hour session. -
What a great way to start kayaking! The information was very helpful and it's really nice to come away with Leslie's book to reinforce everything. The in-water part of the morning was fun and informative. It's nice to be able to experience the different types of kayaks that Leslie has on hand. I'm hooked!

What a fun day with a great bunch of folk! I hope to paddle with ya'll again....thanks for a good trip. -
What is it about paddling that brings out the best in people? Great to see new and old friends, sunny day with juuuuust the right temperature, a rare sight of a hawk yanking a fish up in the air. We'll do this one again next year.

Good biginers paddle, not much of a chalange, we need to do some swift water kayaking, maybe a Level 1 1/2 or 2.

Had a wonderful time with a fun group today. The rain stopped about the time we launched and it was a beautiful day on the river. Thanks, Leslie for leading and for talking me down off the ledge this morning as I wandered lost through Mammoth Cave Park. And thanks to Alan for hauling my boat and I back to the car!— Ron D

Leslie! You put together an awesome paddle for us all to hone our paddling skills! I had a blast and thoroughly enjoyed the day! Having my own kayak was icing on the cake!

Leslie! Just when I thought you had out-done yourself hosting the red river paddle, you go and show us once again that you are the queen of paddle adventures! This was by far the best paddle I have been on this year. It was well worth the drive and putting up with the rain, which stopped the moment we arrived on the river. Bald Eagles as well as other birds-of-prey and various wildlife were jewels in the setting of the Green River. I can't wait to come back! -
